Satruday, April 12th at 8:30am come hear from John Jakus, Head Coach for the FAU Owls Men's Basketball Team. Before accepting the Head Coach position at FAU, Coach Jakus was one of the most highly-regarded assistant coaches in the nation. Jakus has spent his entire collegiate coaching career under two of the game’s most successful head coach in Baylor’s Scott Drew and Gonzaga’s Mark Few. On Drew’s staff for a total of nine seasons, and the associate head coach at Baylor since 2022, Jakus helped lead the Bears’ national resurgence. Highlighted by the program’s 2021 National Championship title.
A coach with strong international ties, the 48-year-old Jakus gained extensive experience as a professional coach in Europe prior to joining the Baylor staff in 2012. He was head coach and assistant general manager of ABA Strumica in Macedonia (2010-11) and also worked with Athletes in Action as volunteer head coach for both NCAA and professional basketball trips and as international basketball head coach and director from 2005 to 2014.
A Chicago native, Jakus graduated from Trinity International University with a Bachelor of Science in religious studies in 1999. He earned a master’s degree in sport management from Baylor in 2014. Jakus and his wife, Sara, have three children -- sons Brady and Cal and daughter Harper.
